"Greatest of All Time scenarios will always be a hot button for debate," Harwood wrote on Instagram. "However, when it comes to greatest tag teams of all time, almost always is The Midnight Express brought up."
He thanked Condrey for being a mentor to him for the past few years.

"Dennis and I would text after every match I had," Harwood recalled. "He would always tell me what he liked and what he felt I could work on. That is something that'll never be lost on me. One of my heroes loved me enough to take time out of his day to let me know how proud he was of me."
"I loved that man and I'll do everything I possibly can over the next few years I have left in the business, to keep his and the Midnight Express' spirit alive," he concluded. "They paved this road so all other tag teams could walk easier. God Bless a true Pioneer of Professional Wrestling."
Condrey started wrestling in the 1970s. But he cemented his legacy in the WWE in 1980 when he established the Midnight Express. That included himself and "Ravishing" Randy Rose and Norvell Austin.
"AEW and the wrestling world are mourning the passing of Loverboy Dennis Condrey, one half of the legendary Midnight Express," All Elite Wrestling wrote on X after Condrey's death. "Our deepest sympathies go out to his family, friends and fans during this difficult time."
Condrey officially retired from the WWE and wrestling after a long career in 2011.
"Dennis Condrey is one half of the greatest tag team of all time, The Midnight Express," Harwood wrote on a GoFundMe. "For years they brought excitement and entertainment to millions of people. However, as great as he was in the ring, it doesn't hold a candle to the human being he was."
